Consistent study groups enable you to have an intensive exchange and excellent cooperation. In the Master's project, you will also work together in interdisciplinary teams. All modules follow one another in time with subsequent examinations. This means that you only have to prepare for one exam at a time.

Our recommendation: When comparing the tuition fees of private universities, you should always look out for "hidden" costs, e.g. for enrollment, exams or study time extensions. If providers do not disclose these fees or only inform you about them after you have been entered in a list of prospective students, you will often be charged above-average fees.
The master's degree in Industrial Engineering opens up outstanding development opportunities in companies. Graduates of this program are able to both prepare and implement entrepreneurial decisions but also to shape and make them. As a future manager, you are well prepared to do so with the constantly updated knowledge from the degree program - especially in globally operating companies, but also everywhere else in the economy.

A total of 300 credits are required for the master's degree, including doctoral eligibility. Since the master's program comprises only 90 credits, applicants with fewer than 210 credits from their first degree must make up the missing credits before graduating with a master's degree. In this case, admission is granted on the condition that the missing credits are made up before graduation from the master's program.
Also a C1 level in German is required to study at NORDAKADEMIE.
Since the Master's programs at NORDAKADEMIE comprise a total of 90 credits, if you have a Bachelor's degree with 180 credits, you still have to make up 30 credits by the time you graduate. You can do so before, during or after the standard period of study in the Master.
